sad...

my posts never returned. Ang and I had an interesting if uneventful weekend for the most part. Saturday we went up to Denver to catch a screening of Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, the new film by Michael Winterbottom and Steve Coogan (who were also behind 24 Hour Party People) and then did some shopping for our annual secret project.

Sunday started with a couple of movies at the dollar theater, The Brothers Grimm and In Her Shoes. I know In Her Shoes is a chick flick, but it's a chick flick as directed by Curtis Hanson, and I really dig Curtis Hanson. Hansons three films, L.A. Confidential, Wonder Boys, and 8 Mile are all dramatically different films that all work extraordinarily well and the current film is no exception.

With a long break in between, we wandered over to Angela's work so she could pick up her schedule and she discovered that she'd been fired (along with several other people). So, a decent weekend finished off quite a bit lousier than it had begun. Thankfully, Ang should be able to get a massage job soon, so there shouldn't be too much of a proplem just finding something to do for a couple of months while that happens, but it's still annoying.

Anyway, just wanted to post an update. It's a swim night tonight, so I'll put in about an hour of laps before we go watch a movie. We've got quite a few to still work our way through and I'll make sure I blog them as we do.
